Film

a.) Stanley Kubrick - The Shining.

There are quiet a few interesting scenes in the film but the following is one of my favorites. The transformation of the space with all the blood is more horrifying than the part where you actually see the ghost making out with Jack Nicholson in room 237. My favourite dialogue from the movie was "Some places are like people, some shine, some don't !".






b.) Alfred Hitchcock - Psycho.

The famous shower scene in this film sends more chills through ones body as the camera drives around the space like a third person. Even though the room is empty after the murder the viewer almost becomes a part of the space which is why I find it more frightening than the shower scene in The Shining.




c.) Stanley Kubrick - Barry Lyndon.

This film doesn't necessarily relate to what my interest lies in but i liked the effort where natural lighting conditions and candle light have been used for most of the shots. It is also a good example of Chiaroscuro. I'm curious to test this in a film which has a horror theme.
